Re: Best looking robot ever?
Of course many extremely clean (mostly powder-coated) robots come to mind when I saw this thread... Particularly ones made by 254, 233, 148, 118, 33, etc. I definitely think there is a lot of "taste"...

I think it'd be useful for those trying to help to understand:

2. What you already have from your...

Re: 2017 - New England District Event Schedule

Re: 2017 - New England District Event Schedule

2. Greater Boston teams are definitely "winning out" with ~5-7 events...

Re: [FRC Blog]2017 Updates
I'm guessing there's nothing too special about the order of each round?
If not, by switching 3v4 and 6v1 within Round 2 and switching 6v2 and 4v1 within Round 4, you could avoid having a team ever...

Re: Idea to Balance Championship Divisions
I think this has merit and should lead to more balanced divisions... it's reasonably straightforward to implement and doesn't rely on rank or statistics that are subject to change each year.
